Happy Harvest?


I had this great idea about how the kiddos would so enjoy planting a garden this summer and watching it grow and produce for us. So I went ahead and made a raised bed and planted a small garden with tomatoes, peppers and strawberries. Apparently our garden was not especially exciting, even as it grew and I reported its progress through the summer. In fact, this is the first interest I have seen in it. M & M were excited to go pick some ripe tomatoes and even a ("a", as in the number one - the one the bunnies missed) strawberry. Of course none of the kids will eat the tomatoes, but that just means more for me, right?

Our Trip to Yellowstone




To celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday, we attended the Green Family Reunion near Yellowstone Park. We had a blast spending time with family and seeing the beautiful country out there. The kids got to have some great cousin time. On the way home we stopped at Devil's Tower (no aliens were there) and Mt. Rushmore. We got home yesterday and now I am digging out from Mt. Laundry!

Night at the Thomsons




We finally made it to Utah and of course had to spend as much time as possible with the Thomsons because they miss us so badly that they are losing their minds. Everyone had a great time.
